For today's entertainment news, I bring you-A BATTLE!. Before we start this battle I have to say this to all the people who gave me this idea, you all are completely childish and foolishness. Why would you make one culture's music and interests go against another culture, knowing that you have a bias intention. Just because you put all your energy, focus and interest in one "cultural music industry" does not mean you are qualify to say, another culture style, technique, concept, intention, and vision falls short (fails to meet expectations or standards) compare to your views. Yes, View. It is your view and your opinion, and frankly it would not have bothered me, if it wasn't becoming such a big deal on retarded YouTube, blog sites and reality. When things start to affect reality, is when I start to pay attention and actually give a minute. If it was just your disillusion, obsession, and mental disease, I would not give you my time of day, but unfortunately it has gone beyond that. First off, Koreans and Japanese people are not the same. They are not the same ethnicity, they are just apart of the same race. It is certain that being apart of the same race means you share similar identities, biologically, historically and socially. For example, both Koreans and Japanese people use chopsticks, eat noodles, developed their own language systems based on Chinese calligraphy, and occasionally get mistaken for being Chinese by foreigners. Yet, there are vase differences between these cultures, for instance, Japan is an country made up of islands, islands that all have their own sub-cultural identities, economic, social and political ideals, style and dialects. Yet, they all merge together as one country called Japan. They all speak the Japanese language, know Japan's history, have the same national flag, and root for one country in the Olympic, or other international events, which is Japan. They also all know what a Kimono, Samurai and Geisha are. Like Japan,the Korea Culture has a varieties of Sub-Cultures, First off, the most obvious one is the large differences between North Korea and South Korea. They are so different, it is almost as if they are not in the same country. Koreans have their own identity that makes one distinguish a Korean from another Asian. Their cultural styles and interests are based on their history, politics, society, westernization and their economy. You have to look at what impact each culture to act the way they do, dress the way they dress, creative and invest their time in what-so-ever. Is it their background, their struggles, their diversity, other nations cultural diffusion with their culture, or their goals that individually they are trying to achieve, but as a whole country, what does it sum-up to when it comes to intent, when it is seen through an outsider (foreigner) perspective. Never judge another persons action, interest, creation or appearance, without actually getting to know them. It's okay to prejudge, because we all do it, even intentional, subconsciously, instinctively, we judge before we ask, or try to understand and get to know. But that doesn't give anyone the right to assume, sum-up who or what a person or persons are, without any understanding. I'm sick off it. It's immature, unreasonable and tasteless. If you like Korean music, good for you, if you like Japanese music, good for you, if you like whatever you listen to, GOOD FOR YOU. Keep your opinions and views monitor and ultimately in-check, before you do or say something reckless and offensive. Honestly, at first Korea to me was the Korean civil war between North Korea and South Korea. For a long time, that was all Korea meant to me. Not until 2011, my Senior year in high-school, I discovered a different type of Korea, that I appreciated; Korean pop music, for short K-pop. I listened to the music with an open mind, not bothered by the language, the people, the style or sound. I just appreciated listening and watching Korean pop music. Yet, I never became a fan off the music, just as I never became a fan of Japanese music or even American Music. I will tell you who I am a fan off, the only person I am a fan off is Micheal Jackson. I know most people are like, "say what," but that's it, musically speaking. So- I try not to get too consume with any music I listen too. I just appreciate it with an open-mind. I lied, because I really can't stand Rihanna or most of American pop singers. While listening to Korean music, I didn't keep it a secret, I tried to introduce other people to the music, like my family, friends and pairs in school- whoever. Just like I do for every other music, movie, or interest I have. My interest for K-pop slowly started to fizzle down. I will tell you why, the negativity the fan and devoted listeners gave it and varies things that interfered with my personal views. Just like Japanese and American music, at some point they fizzled. I discovered something in their music culture that bothered me, interfered with my personal views or just irritated me visually or sound-based. But I do still listen to all types of music, so long it's great-not good, not cute, not just visually simulating, but all around has a great impact, and it makes a great impression on me, chances are I'll give it a listen. So furthermore, putting any bias aside, I will give you guys a chance to sent in two of your favorite Japanese or Korean music and out of all those sent in, five music videos will be chosen as what I view as great Korean and Japanese music. You might question my taste, but at-least I'm not trying to find the worst of one thing and the best of another, and have them go against each other. Besides the Music Videos we're chosen by you, I just chose five of the best. Start searching! >>>

﻿I Guess?

Today I turned 21, and as fun as I can say it was, the level of ,"worst," was at the same level. Nobody remember, or cared, didn't get presents, cleaned up the house, when at to eat, only with my Cousin, went to the buffet and around ten, since I don't have a car, I called my mom, because the bus stopped running at 7pm. Walked 1 hour and 45 minutes to get Downtown, with a dress and sandals on while it was freezing and NO-ONE CARED. I got home about 12:20pm, and got scream out, and that was my 21st birthday. So unless you can top that, don't complain about just getting a cup cake.But it's done, I kinda enjoy today with my cousin and I maybe for my next birthday, I try my best to have the best time of my life.

Why do people steal, have you ever wonder that question? I have many times. I have been stolen from many times and I'm sure every human have stolen one or more times in their life, whether as a child or teenager, adult or in their old age. Even if the stealing is small, like taking a piece of food from someone without asking them, or wearing someone else thing in your family, and not returning it until they find out, or taking some pocket change from your parents, or picking up a dollar from the floor when someone drops it and not returning it to them, it's still stealing. However small the thieving is, you still are a thief. Then there are bigger, more dangerous level of stealing. criminal intentions behind stealing, murderous, shocking methods of stealing that even a thief who don't consider themselves a thief is surprise by. I had a lot of things stolen from me physical. I'm not even going to go into mental, emotion, and psychological thieving. But my money has been stolen on the bus, my money was taken from my purse at work, by a someone in community service, who looked in my eyes after stealing from me and smiled. Who when I told, "have a nice day, they replied, "you too." Then one of them preceded to ask me for a Job application, which I give them. Then there have been countless items stolen at my job, and each time the individual or individuals committing the crime get more bold. I wonder deeply, what makes people steal, what in the mind of a human being, make them look at something that doesn't belong to them and decide to take it. Plan on taking it, make it a hobby, and a exciting, fun activity. What is it? So I decided to write a poem, in hopes that while writing, my mind would present the answer. So, here I go:Stealing...Stealing?the thrill, the aching rush that jolts through your back, to your chest and released through your veinsthe feeling of being alive, as if you weren't already livingit's definitely a smooth criminallike a heart attack that come on your best days, but not your worseit's like that cancer they found, when you thought you were immunebut then somehow, you're going to die in less then a yearthat cancer that NASA can't cure, not even with all their smartnessI mean, why not, we took the man to the moon and backWe can talk to someone miles away, by sliding our hands on the screen of a deviceYet, you can't tell me why we StealIt's like desperation, when you do something out of your character, but you can't go backIt's an addiction, that tells you-if it feels good, why stopYeah, why stop, it can't kill youbut what addiction have you heard of, that can't kill you?I mean, seriously-the poor steals, the rich steals, the wealth, righteous, and crazy stealsit can't just be desperation, can't just be greedcan't just be lust, anger, jealousyit can't just be a want. Something to occupy your dull lifesomething that you want, but can't have so you make it yours-Is that a problem....is that a problem?but how do you think the person you're stealing from feels"what. I don't care. I NEED it More!"Do you, do you really, really-do you?Stealing is like working, it takes the same amount of effortMaybe even more effort, but double the risk.

Happy Valentines day everyone! I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentines. I went to work and after that school, so...yeah, basically that was my day. But I did receive Valentine from a stranger unintentionally, because he popped out in the hallway, blocking my friend and I, holding two heart-shaped lolly pops and I rose. First, my friend and I started to walk away, but I grabbed the Lollipop from his hand, and my friend did the same to the rose and Lollipop. We walked away, giggling. I also ate heart-shaped candy, drank red punch and ate chips in class. I keep one heart-shaped chocolate for the next day. I had the brilliant idea to throw it into my hazel nut creamed tea, it was delicious. After the tea was done, I peeked through the "coffee Cup" lid hole and saw the heart-shaped still in the shape of a heart. It was like looking through the peep hole of my heart-cute . I had a great day at work and listened to K-Love (104.9), positive, encouraging, Christian music, ate more heart-shaped lollipop and chocolate. I had a food Valentines day. How was your's?

Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I might forget to blog about it tomorrow. But I secretly love thanksgiving even-though I can't eat turkey, I like the idea of the Holiday, giving thanks and eating. Two things I am very good at. I hate how all my family Thanksgiving has gone, for as long as I can remember, so I kinda hate Thanksgiving. Plus getting up early to cook, is that wrong? Well,Happy Thanksgiving! IthinkI love you all XD enjoy your turkey, you cranberry, your pasta salad, cornbread, mash potato, fruit salad, and drinks, whatever it maybe. Have fun. Enjoy your family, your friends, your sibling and yourself. Enjoy life, but not too much-Don't drink and Drive. Better yet, Don't Drink at All!

88 percent of Americans eat Turkey, it probably got higher over a few years.

There are places in America with small towns, that are name after Turkey side dishes. There is also a town name Turkey, not the country Turkey-Yum!

Thanksgiving is more popular of a holiday to eat Turkey, obviously.

Turkey was the first meal enjoyed by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they were on the moon.

The first American Thanksgiving was celebrated in 1621, to commemorate the harvest reaped by the Plymouth Colony after a harsh winter.

The U.S. grew 2.6 billion pounds (1.18 billion kilograms) of sweet potatoes—many in North Carolina, Mississippi, California, and Louisiana—and produced more than 1.2 billion pounds (544 million kilograms) of pumpkins. Illinois, California, Pennsylvania, and Ohio grow the most U.S. pumpkins.

If you overeat at Thanksgiving dinner, there's a price to be paid for all this plenty: the Thanksgiving "food coma."

One 12-oz. beer, one 5-oz. glass of wine and one 1.5 oz. shot of liquor have the same amount of alcohol

Women absorb alcohol into the bloodstream faster and metabolize it slower than men.

Women who drink regularly are at significantly greater risk for liver damage than men even if they drink less or drink for a shorter period of time.

Moderate use (2-3 drinks) can results a loss of motor coordination for up to 12 to 18 hours after drinking.4

Moderate use (2-3 drinks) can also result in depleted aerobic capacity and negative impact on endurance for up to 48 hours after the last drink has been consumed

Rittman football player Nick Andre was suspended and kicked off the team for a poem he worte for an assigment in class. Which he read to the class and it was offensive, so it was consider hazy and harassement. Andre's poem: Real Talk Crtic of the PoemStupid-"nice poem title, short, simple. and direct, not trying to mislead the audience, hmm..."Losing season,Favoritism, -"Yep fravoritism is a skill only losers and easily butthurt people have. Very nice vocbulary" Non stop passes from best friend to best friend. -"Whataquoi? see this makes no sense, you're are being too deep."Continuously doing what doesn't work,The inability to separate being a father and a coach. -"Talk about mixing business with the pressure of life, so worng"Dropped passes,But yet still the "super star", -"that's messed-up Yo. You can't fail and win at the same time, you aint jesus."Yeah right.Where's my scholarship? -"RIGHT, that what I be saying all the time, don't I get a scholarship for staying alive, huh?I can drop passes,Run backwards, -"Running backwards in a hard skill man, I can't even run forward good"Miss tackles,And be afraid to take a hit. -"Yep, being afraid to take a hit is a skill only losers and easily butthurt people have."That's top line div. 1 material right there.If that's what they wanted,They definitely got it.This whole town will be glad when he is gone. -Yo, chill man, that's a death threat, why you killing him off in writing-go full out. For anyone who doesn't understand what I am saying? -I'll rise my hands to that, you talking a whole lotta nonsenseAKRON'S SCREWED!

Dude from Yahoo Comments-52 minutes ago This kid completes the assignment as asked, the other kid gets mad and upset that the poem is about him, runs to daddy (which happens to be both of these boy's coach), the dad gets butthurt, goes to the principal (probably good friends), and now this kid is suspended and kicked off the team. If there is any bullying here it's from the school and their administration.RealTalk-2 seconds laterRight.

This picture might seem disturbing, but those cows have a point. If the roles were reversed, it would be very disgusting and disturbing, just like cannibalism, but not as severe-in our minds. The killing and Manipulation of animals in America is very disgusting and disturbing, yet, somehow that idea can not be realized by so many people. Next you start hearing people say, " I'm on a diet, I really need to exercise and eat right' or I try not to eat out as much," yet this is America, There is NO such thing as Dieting, not with the instant need to have and want, the readiness of everything, "prepared," or Electronics and media taking up our "time" or work and blah, blah, so on. The truth that is hard to swallow is that people in the United States are LAZY and fast food is just another drug that anybody can become addicted too.

It is very sad to know that numerous amount of people in the United State and some parts the world, know nothing about what goes in their stomach and what function it has in your body. Basically, people know very little about Nutrition, because if they did, maybe, just maybe the number of cholesterol, stroke, heart attack, cancer, type 2 dietetics and so forth would decrease. The Guy at a eating contest does not seem to care, he's going to win if he eats all that burger, but at what cost. His health, his weight, his life, illness, or even death? There is much more to eating Fast-Food or just simple store bought food that many people are not taught or even aware off. Then, there are those who just don't care, because they are stuck in their old ways. Well, I have taken many nutrition and basic health classes, and yet like many, I still eat out at Subway, Famous Woks, Taco Bell, McDonald mini pies and fries and even Wegmans prepared foods. So I am not judging anyone-honestly, but something has to be done about Americans eating habit, it needs to become a major health issue. Politicians need to stop worrying about ridiculousness and start focusing on what really matters, seriously Nobody elected any of them to talk stupid and act dumb. Stop worrying about two guys getting married, that's their future, or what a women should do with her body, and most of all Stop dwelling over Obama, hate can become a very passionate obsession, leave the hate to the real haters, they know who they are-Vampires Gosh!

If this was a video, it would be a scary movie.

The number one vegetable in America is potato-Whoa (hand clap). The potato seriously, what happens if we had a potato famine like Ireland, we would "strive." This was a video I had to show, my teacher showed this and that potato fact left a lasting impression-I don't even like potato like that. I think the number one used vegetable is corn-in just about everything. We are basically talking chickens that wear clothes. Some of us even look like chickens, fat bodies with trig legs, all we need is are feathers, that's not impossible with all the hormones they put in food. Keep believing you can fly, it might happen, but i don't think chickens can fly, since they are so fat, with weak wings.

I also thought this comment on Youtube was too funny XD Chickenboy- 6 months agoOMG! I'm not eating hamburgers anymore.

It's too funny because "Chickenboy," knows he is going to be slurping on some chicken wings, big mac or some type of burger in that same day or day after watching this video and commenting.

]]>Sun, 20 Oct 2013 07:29:20 GMThttp://ithinkxd.weebly.com/chatter-box/kpop-is-a-fad-part-2Hey peoples-I know I took long to write back about k-pop being a Fad. First off, let me define the wordFad. Fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, esp. one that is short-lived; a crazed.The K-pop movement has spread widely (international) in a short span of time intensely fast. Now I understand fans of K-pop might bash me for saying K-pop is a fad, but if you read the definition of fad, you would see that all the evidence relates to K-pop. People share a high enthusiasm for the music and the idols who create it but, this genre is not different from any other genre, especially since some people define K-pop as a culture more than a segment of music in the Korean culture. Korean Pop music-also known as, Pop music (mainstream cultural genre.) Let me make this this clear-ALL culture have pop as a GENRE. Pop can intertwine or collaborate as they say in the music world with other genres, such as, classical, folk, R&B,Hip-Hop, which seems to be the main genre that Korean pop idols collaborate or incorporate in their music, as well as ballads. But remember that POP is a separate genre, that should not be defined as any other genre unless you are defining it as a POP Culture, which POP music is not, but offend get mixed up with. So tell me why people think it's okay to say group who make hip-hop music or rock bands or even movie stars are apart of this K-pop Movement? Is it just a common mistake that doesn't get much thought-maybe. I get the Hullyu Movement is a Korean cultural spread, but Korea is not K-pop, or is it? Korean idols do seem to be in every part of the Korean cultural. Posters everywhere, clothing brand "lines" Fashion slash every type of Magazine, variety "a varieties of shows," they are MC's, they are commercials of all kind even Ramen noodles, sneakers and liquor (Soju), actors and actresses, models, they are everywhere and involved in EVERYTHING. Since Korean pop seems to be the dominate genre in Korea, I will define it as the Korea culture-my view, my opinion-period. Let me show you a couple of examples-

These people are the true definition of how K-pop has defined the Korean's culture. These people are everywhere, on just about everything-just hype like G-Druggin on cranberry juice. Super Junior also known as real old man try'in to be young and relevant is like a 16 member group-I think Half of the group is targeted to the Chinese K-pop lovers, and they-well mostly, all speak Chinese. Girl Generation is a 9 member girl-group with Korean girls, Korean-American girl (s) and a Japanese girl with a hype as a devil's child fan base called-Sones. Then there is IU, Korea's national little miss cutey pie. In other word IU means " I own You," which she kinda of does, stealing so many Korea of all ages heart, she truly is Korea little sister, but the girl isn't little, she's older than me and I just turned 20 Honestly, I like IU, she is a excellent singer and a good dancer. She has stayed true to herself and the type of character she portrays in her music career, as other artist has tired to change and reinvent themselves to sometimes-the extreme. I like people who stand on a study ground, they are grounded in their character and they know who they are and what's best for their life. Some people just don't have that ability to stand on their own and be their self=ves, those the kind off people I don't like. But hey, whatever. If you think I am wrong-that's because you're too hype to realize the truth. I am not going to make this article into a novel, so I'll fast forward to 2012-2013. All the old idols are back-WHAT! Yeah that's what I thought. Even Shinhwa-a 6 member group of man all in their thirties, early to mid-thirties. Since I guess it's okay for 30 years old to be in a group with younger member *cough, cough* Khali, and the the whole Brown-eyes girls slash 2ne1. Now, Lee Hyori, Shinhwa, the dude from H.O.T, is back. Why? That's what fad is, when this run out of style, the old becomes new and the new become a fad. The new is all the new groups agency are pumping out everyday-I can't even keep count or even know their names, slash even care so much to the point that i can't remember their name, songs, faces, they just become overwhelming, same (no individuality, no originality, fast pace, and short lived). Even Crayon Pop gets on my nerves now, I like their first two songs but now I feel that they are just ape-ing on those two Songs popularity-doing the most.This is what Korea pop is becoming and I saw it coming, because this is the stages a fad goes through, before people start realizing that the special, unique quality that interested them, drew them in, kept them alive, entertained, gave them a pass time and a conversation and even more an identity, is just like every thing else, it's not as special as people make it out to be. That is where delusional fans come in, which happens in every country, continent, and culture, so off-course Korea is no exception. Here are all the examples and then I will go on to write a few sentences and move on to something else. I'm writing in the night , after work and i am tired.

Madame Lee Hyori-This is Hyori in her Fin-K days which I didn't even know existed. Seriously who is this group and -who cares? Anyways, Here is one of their music and then Hyori in her Prime and then Hyori trying to still relevant in 2013 with her "long awaited comeback."

All I'm going to say is like Rihanna or Miley Cyrus she is a good performance artist, with the get-up and attitude to match, but she is not a legend, not as an artist of music, she is just a entertainer. There is a difference, a artist has all rights and full involvement in there work and how they want to create and project it to their viewer, they are in all aspects of what they create and what defines their image. Entertainers are made-they are product of their agency and fan base. Their identity is a concept that constantly changes to please the masses. They can, but do not have to be fully involved in what they are required to project or perform. Their songs, outfits, persona, and appearance might be a creation of one or more individuals, who are hired to make sure they stay in the public consciousness and sub-consciousness. They create catchy, or "shocking" production for the sake of pure entertainment, they do not need a great or exceptional voice, because it can be fix in the recording studio on a machine and they might or may not need to know how to dance. They are performers-money makers. That is what I categorize Lee Hyori as. Now mind you, I might be wrong, considering I am not close to her, and know what goes on in her agency, but this is my outsider's perception of her. This is a clip of those who don't know who Rihanna is:

And...Miley

If you think K-pop is much more tamed than that, that's because Korea and the United States have different standards, but if Korea music agency's could, they would make it exactly the same. They already having explicit music videos and lyrics seep through, especially now that YouTube exist. Here are a few examples: Girls day, Hyuna, Nine Muse, Riana. There is really a thin line. Pop music is pop music, no matter what country, even if one country controls their artist more than the other.

Now if you're wondering why I'm only showing girl examples, "as if they were victims," then i have to say, it's mainly girls, in any country, that has to take up the explicit, sexy role, especially in music and music video, so off-course they would be my major examples. I could go on articles after articles, showing you examples of "Too Sexed-up" music video, but that would be doing too much. But I will show you two other music videos of male singers., Bang Yong Guk and Xia A.K.A Junsu. GD and Top does some "shocking," and I quote music videos but nothing actually shocking. These two music videos have some rated R content in them, but not as much as girls or girl-group videos, which have-Tons!

"Although both Roy and Jung have gone on to become solo artist after Kpop Star, this is one of three song they performed together that I love, the second was Creep."

Korean music as a whole is NOT a fad, but K-pop is a genre (a section) of the Korean music industry that is highly famed and globally known. This genre and style resembles the same aspect of other Asian countries, like Japan and China, and definitely closely resembles western music, like the United States or some parts of Europe. The individualism the the music had when it first started and became noticed is seemly slowly fading. There is a blurred line to what Korean pop music is and how it differs to other pop cultural music. Which new groups and artist being pumped out daily, with difficult and more ridiculous names, as well as set on rewind, sound the same music and concepts, it's becoming tasteless. Yet, K-pop won't fad away, Fads don't die-off so easily, they just lose their taste and get a bit boring and routinely-to the point where you start looking for something else to feed you. Korean music has many great artist, videos and artistic qualities, and if they keep searching for artist who know themselves and are not so hungry for instant fame, who would do anything for that cash money, young money, then they can continue to hold their place in their international and home-based, as a specific "special" type of music.

PS: Pour it up, pour it up, pour it up or shut-up'Cause card money and Dollar bills-they don't matterWork honey, don't act funnyjust know what matter -To K-pop "Yeah, I just made that up in point two seconds,-tell how you feel XD"

]]>Sun, 13 Oct 2013 15:20:07 GMThttp://ithinkxd.weebly.com/chatter-box/inside-the-lives-of-american-sex-slaveThis is a serious matter that people some times forgot exist, but better yet, pretend to not know. What is a Sex Slave-A sex Slave is just like any other slavery topics. Slavery is the unwilling desire of a person or party that are force into performance a task(s) against their own will, by another person or a group of people .Mainly for the sake of the person(s) forcing that individual prosperity or pleasure. Sexual slavery is the slavery of unwilling people for sexual exploitation. The incidence of sexual slavery by country, Cooperation of various international agencies have been under investigation but have not been truly dealt with. The sexual exploitation of a minor, such as a nude picture of a baby, child, teen, or adult on the internet, in a video, or anywhere else performing explicit acts or being molested is Sex Slavery-IT NEEDS TO STOP. IT DISGUSTING AND DESPICABLE. There is not a signal difference from a brothel or whorehouse, a strip club, or people working in a sex industry.Sex Slavery can occur within those business. Child or adult can be force into sleeping with people for no or little pay to survive, where they never see their family again. They can be kidnap for prostitution, or to work doing porn. This subject came to mind, when yesterday my friend told me that there was a older man who drives around in her neighborhood kidnapping children from playground or when a guardian is not around and putting them in his car. If you know that this is going on or seen it, do not be afraid to tell the authority (police, child protection agency, school counselor anyone you trust to listen. Please report-there are innocent people lives involve.
